Women in Super (WiS) has appointed Jo Kowalczyk as its new chief executive. 

Kowalczyk had over 15 years’ experience advocating for change in the education sector and a robust background in strategy, advocacy, and delivering transformative change and worked for six years as the compliance and operations manager for the NSW Teachers Federation. 

Kowalczyk also served as at the National Tertiary Education Union.  

Commenting on her appointment, WiS chair, Kara Keys, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Jo as our new CEO. The gender super gap largely exists because of wage inequality, and having spent her life advocating for working people in the education sector, Jo has a deep understanding of the structural policy barriers that we are trying to change.  

“Jo is the ideal person to help Women in Super move forward our mission to improve the financial security of women in retirement.” 

She would replace Sandra Buckley who left at the end of 2021 after eight years to join the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST).
